The driver of a 2007 Chevrolet pickup, Cody Rosso, 22, of Hartshorne, was transported by ambulance to the hospital in McAlester, where he was listed in stable condition with limb injuries, said the highway patrol.

A passenger in the pickup, Tess Rosso, 18, of Hartshorne, was transported by ambulance to the McAlester hospital, where she was treated for limb injuries and was in stable condition, the highway patrol said.
